[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MasterMRZ:
Ive always been interested on how people create exploits. Im very interested on how apps like Universal Androot and Z4ROOT get their exploit but im wondering, can i create my own?

Yes, i know its not easy but it can be fun. Any ideas where to start?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MasterMRZ:
Ehh, no one decides to respond. Its okay, i have another big thing in mind to bring to the android community. Just needs time
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
I just wanted to point something out now that there are quite a few different roms using larger then normal system partitions and offloading that data onto the data partition with symlinks. Here is only three examples:

Kingdom Rewind:

ui_print("Writing System...");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
symlink("/data/Rewind-System/system.app", "/system/app");

Kinged Kingdom and HateSLINGER:

ui_print("Writing System...");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
symlink("/data/King-System/system.app", "/system/app");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/data/King-System/system.app");

Synergy Nightly:

ui_print("Writing System...");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
symlink("/data/Synergy-System/system.app", "/system/app");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/data/Synergy-System/system.app");

Doing this is only making it more difficult for mods/themes/kernels. How about doing something more productive?

symlink("/data/Data-System/system.app", "/system/app");

If every Rom mod used a more universal system this would make it easier for updates/themes/mods/kernels to be used on these new and larger rom. Making less work and creating more productivity when working on things.

I get that its your rom, but does everyones symlinks need to be different? Now, since I started working on a kernel, I have to create an update.zip for each specific rom. Let's work together as a community and streamline this.

I tried syncing my phone contacts with my gmail account but I get a 'sync is experiencing problems. It will be back shortly'.

Anybody know what the problem is. Calendar and Docs synced fine. It's just contacts it has problem with.

Can anybody help or have any advice?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Lee:
I had that issue on my x10 and I did this to fix it,

Delete data in the gmail app and delete if you have it the data in gmail storage. You will find those under all apps in settings.

Then let the phone resync itself.

[HTC Sensation] afgwahid1994:
Is flashing a radio through adb the only way or can you flash through CWM?
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
u can do it thru CWM also, place PG....zip in sd and say update

let it do its thing and reboot. just make sure you have the correct radio
[HTC Sensation] nooge9:
No, you CANNOT flash through Clockwork Recovery.

If you don't want to use adb, you must :

1) Put PG58IMG.zip (I *think* it's case sensitive) on the root of your sd-card

2) Boot into bootloader (by powering on while holding the down volume key). It will auto-detect the zip file.

3) Follow the on-screen directions to flash the radio.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
Firstly make sure the radio.img (the file that will be in the zip folder) is in the folder where your adb is located (mine is in android/android-sdk/tools.. as fastboot is in here i copied everything from platform-tools back into tools to achieve this)

then

1. adb devices (check to see that your device is connected)

2. adb reboot bootloader (then let it restart.. the phone into the bootloader)

3. fastboot flash radio radio.img (let it push and install)

4. fastboot restart

and then your good to go... thats how i flashed the radio from android revo hd..

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
isn't there a 2 year rule with updates?

since atrix came out this year, doesn't that mean it'll be supported by ICS?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paschalis:
They will stop the update for the phone, not more than one year when it released?

Maaaaaaaaany lower in power phones, will be released and getting upgrade on ICS,

or may released with ICS.

I understand to stop updates, when a phone's power, isnt enough.

But not with a dual core.

Everybody will switch to Sensation, SGS, if they dont, so i think and hope they will :)

EDIT: btw, when ICS hits, xda will open sections for TVs? Rooting and hacking TV's? :P

Should i just do a factory reset or what?

If i'm wrong could anyone explain?

Thanks (:
[General Questions and Answers] green007:
I'm not an expert but normally you install the ROM and the you wipe data and cache.
[General Questions and Answers] halljo:
1.Reboot into xRecovery and make a back-up of your current ROM. (You'll need a working xRecovery or else it will say Device/SD Card busy).

2.Wipe the following in xRecovery:

Factory Reset (Full wipe)

Wipe Cache Partition

Wipe Dalvik Cache

3.Go to install Custom Zip

And will all apps be gone? cause i thought u need ROM Manager to install? (or could use)
[General Questions and Answers] bigpeet666:
ROM manager is too unreliable, stick with manual recovery, apps will be gone so back them up first with Titanium Backup and restore them after flashing new rom
[General Questions and Answers] Lazdaa:
Uhm okay got a link for a tut or something?
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
titanium backup can be found on the market (but its a paid app)

astro file manager (a free app) can backup your apps (although i recommend titanium backup as it allows you to backup more than just your apps)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
yeah what mramirezusa is hinting at is: are you sure you are on tenfar CWM?

If so you should have blue letters with chinese characters in background. If they're orange then you have kholk's CWM that is known to not wipe properly so there's your problem.

As for wiping, I've heard of people having issues even with tenfar, just use USB cable and moto-fastboot to your PC, command is moto-fastboot.exe -w

You might be already doing this but before flashing any ROM make sure you do a full wipe (pref with moto-fastboot), wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache

I don't get any "force close"; it's fast, it seamlessly handles many aps, the camera is great, it makes wifi calls and does wifi tethers (never done that myself). The list of greatness goes on. And then my wife pulls it out of her purse when she's on call and it is locked up (no screen, no key response) and has been locked up for how long? :mad: My 2 phones do this, and a guy at work here has a G2x that does this occasionally.

Got my update. On the 10th August.

Loaded in about 5 minutes and kept all my programme's and settings.

Free bluetooth mouse now works.

Hdmi out to large screen TV is brilliant.

Usb is still not fully functional ie. will not work with flash drives or hard disks but ok with thing like usb mouse and cameras.

Can't say I've noticed much different in speed, its a little better.

Browser use to crash all the time on 3.01, its much more stable now.

Micro SD is now working and can transfer files from internal sd to external sd but not from PC to external sd via usb cable.

Music player will still not fetch art work from the internet without external programme. ( yes to those in the USA, that's how we spell it) :)

Google maps has a problem with sometimes not zooming in closer than 1000ft unless I change from terrain view to satellite view (or the reverse).

Camera setting do not reverse if the tablet is turned 180° but the last taken picture does.

Still no software volume slider. (Not a problem but would be nice).

When using standard browser on the xda-developers website cannot use the normal search facility have to use advanced search. ( don't know if that's xda's web problem or the browser.

And last but not least, there is a big typing delay when using the browser (as reported by others)

That's all I can think of at the moment endless YOU can think of anything.
